CHANGELOG.md

Changelog

All notable changes to this project will be documented in this file.

[1.2.0] - 2026-04-03

Added

• Dashboard-based UptimeRobot setup — users can now paste their UptimeRobot Main API key directly in the dashboard and create an external uptime monitor
• Optional WhatsApp mode — WhatsApp now stays fully disabled unless WHATSAPP_ENABLED=true

Changed

• Documentation simplified — README now explains the simple dashboard flow for external keep-alive, which key to use, and where to paste it

Removed

• Internal self-ping keep-alive — removed keep-alive.sh and all startup wiring because internal self-pings do not reliably prevent free-tier HF Space sleep

[1.1.0] - 2026-03-31

Added

• Pre-built Docker image — uses ghcr.io/openclaw/openclaw:latest multi-stage build for much faster builds (minutes instead of 30+)
• Python huggingface_hub sync — workspace-sync.py uses the huggingface_hub library for more reliable HF Dataset sync (handles auth, LFS, retries). Falls back to git-based sync automatically
• Password auth — OPENCLAW_PASSWORD for simpler login (optional alternative to token)
• Trusted proxies — TRUSTED_PROXIES env var fixes "Proxy headers detected from untrusted address" errors on HF Spaces
• Allowed origins — ALLOWED_ORIGINS env var to lock down Control UI access
• 40+ LLM providers — Added support for OpenCode, OpenRouter, DeepSeek, Qwen, Z.ai, Moonshot, Mistral, xAI, NVIDIA, Volcengine, BytePlus, Cohere, Groq, HuggingFace Inference, and more
• OpenCode Zen/Go — support for OpenCode's tested model service

Changed

• Provider detection now uses case statement (cleaner, faster) with correct OpenClaw provider IDs
• Model IDs now sourced from OpenClaw docs (not OpenRouter) for accuracy
• Google API key env var corrected to GEMINI_API_KEY

[1.0.0] - 2026-03-30

🎉 Initial Release

Features

• Any LLM provider — Anthropic (Claude), OpenAI (GPT-4), Google (Gemini)
• Telegram integration — connect via @BotFather, supports multiple users
• Built-in keep-alive — self-pings to prevent HF Spaces 48h sleep
• Auto-sync workspace — commits + pushes to HF Dataset every 10 min
• Auto-create backup — creates HF Dataset automatically on first run
• Graceful shutdown — saves workspace before container stops
• Health endpoint — /health on port 7861 for monitoring
• DNS fix — bypasses HF Spaces internal DNS restrictions
• Version pinning — lock OpenClaw to a specific version
• Startup banner — clean summary of all running services
• Zero-config defaults — just 2 secrets to get started

Architecture

• start.sh — config generator + validation + orchestrator
• workspace-sync.sh — periodic workspace backup
• health-server.js — lightweight health endpoint
• dns-fix.js — DNS override for HF network restrictions
